I praise or criticize movies, games, and TV shows regardless of how much I paid or if it was free. I’m much less critical of those $2 PlayStation Eye novelty titles because it was generally understood that they were just experimental novelty titles.

My expectations for Home, at least what Home can be, are much larger.

oops forgot…I know I payed for the sub. to Qore. But isnt the Home deal FREE? I find it strange for people to complain about free stuff.

hehe, sure glad I have it already. Did you really think buying one episode would get you in? I can see why the are slowly letting people in, cuz at times its way to crowded and you cant play the certain games that you want anyhow.
I think Home is really cool and has alot of great ideas. Granted everything isnt there yet (TVs, my own pictures, more outfits). If your expectations are to freaking high then yeah it will disapoint. (It seems like sony has alot on there plate right now anyways)…In order to enjoy it more though everyone on my buddy list needs to have it so we can start games together hang out and chat. Sitting in the chat box in the xmb is super boring and stupid now. Right now people are some what friendly, but its like going to the local mall and expecting people to talk and be cool.

The more important priority, is building Home into something good enough to give to the public.

They’re not there yet. The product just isn’t good enough yet. At this point, it really doesn’t matter how they run the beta program or who they let in and how… They need to make the product better.

For comparison, LittleBigPlanet has exceeded my expectations… Home has fallen short thus far (of course I expect it to improve with further dev effort).

Ya the closed beta was rumoured to be updating to 1.0 for the new wave of qore invites. Then open beta the same day as NXE.
